Can't remember what the first bike I was ever on was, but the first one I actually rode was my lil CG125 who went by the name of 'Bastard'

I was a natural

If minibikes count it was a Rupp Sprint powered by a Briggs & Stratton 3bhp grasscutter engine, otherwise it was a Yamaha 80 of early '70s vintage, dual purpose bike (wobble & crash).

First road bike was an LC350 cracking bike I was far to good for it until I fell off. My first actual bike was a tiny kawasaki kids crosser aged four must have been good coz I started racing a couple of years later

first bike I rode was a honda ss50, thought it was the dogs bollox till I had to go out in the wet ( horizontal cylinder with spark plug at the end, right where spray from front wheel hit)

was an MZ250 Supa 5, and it was on some rough ground.

Fell off when I stopped cos I forgot to put my feet down. Broke an indicator. Oops!

Made a funny noise those bikes, made me larf!

Its no good looking for the needle if you have already lost the thread.

Honda SS50 (unrestricted).

That or the FS1E (which my mate had) were the things to have - would do 50-60mph downhill with the wind behind it. Great for learning basic mechanics too (only had it a couple of days before the carbs were being stripped and cleaned (etc etc))
